Motivation

Identify topics Specify learning objectives Prepare examples and nonexamples. Some examples of good examples are concrete materials, pictures, models, and vignettes. Examples should have quality, variety, and appropriate context

Introduction- attract attention and focus of lesson Open-ended Phase teacher presents examples and students make observations and comparisons. The Convergent Phase teacher asks specific questions to guide understanding of topic and concept Closure and Application teacher concludes concept and students apply understanding

Use pictures or models for test rather than written words because it might take away focus from concept knowledge. Multiple choice questions are okay, but short-answer, open-ended questions, or fill in the blank are better.

Stronger critical thinking abilities Sense of curiousity and challenge Intrinsic motivation because students strive to understand on their own
